Who says sandwiches are just for lunch? A tasty meal like my Harvest Chicken Salad stuffed into delicious Toufayan Smart Pockets is the ultimate dinner that you can have ready in a flash.

With lacrosse starting up this week, I will have to rely on meals that I can make ahead of time. Because of practice/games, I might not get home until after 7pm some nights. The last thing I want to do is then spend another hour in the kitchen. My guys get home and are hungry so I need to have dinner on the table fast. This Harvest Chicken Salad is a super easy option that can be made the day before so that it can just be pulled from the fridge and served up. It’s definitely a weeknight winner!

Ingredients

1 package Toufayan Smart Pockets
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (approx. 2 breasts)
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt & pepper
1/2 cup mayo
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. finely chopped red onion
1 granny smith apple, cored and diced
1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries
1 cup grapes, sliced
3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon toasted walnuts or pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F.
Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise to reduce cook time.
Rub the olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place on a shallow baking sheet and roast the chicken for approximately 15 – 20 minutes, until cooked through.
Cool slightly and then cube the chicken into bite size pieces.
Add the cubed chicken to a large bowl with the onions, apple, cranberries, grapes and nuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, dijon mustard and lemon juice until combined.
Gently fold the mayo mixture into the chicken mixture to evenly coat all ingredients.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, fill each Toufayan Smart Pocket with the prepared chicken salad.
